If It's Jester's Time, It's Jester's Time

I may have delved into the possibilities of parallel worlds. Where different worlds are created due to different choices. Since there have been many choices, almost infinite, then there are infinite number of parallel worlds. However, there is a finite number of worlds that would coincide with certain conditions. Pardon me if i have confused you a little bit.

Let me get straight to the point. The recent typhoon, Basyang (as in Lola Basyang, at least i think so) came not with heavy rains but with strong winds. That was just last night. The winds were howling. I even heard stories of some co-workers whose homes have been de-roofed (did i just coin that word?). Early this morning, i saw the damages. Billboards, trees, and posts were damaged. Thus, the Luzon-wide blackout.

Again, to the point where the typhoon and the parallel worlds meet. I wonder how many ME's no longer exist in the other parallel worlds because of the typhoon. I may never know.

At around thirty minutes after midnight the lights went out. It didn't really bother me because it was a bit cool. But it was too dark and the wind was howling. I got up and lit up a candle, placed it on a plastic holder and placed it on a wooden stool near my bed. I tried going back to sleep but I couldn't because I was sweating a little bit. Yet, I closed my eyes in the hope that i may fall asleep. I occasionally do but keep waking up every fifteen minutes or so. Until at last, I did fall asleep. I woke up at 4AM and saw the plastic candle holder aflame; on a wooden stool and a bottle of alcohol just beside it. For some reason I didn't panic and blew out the flame. I couldn't go back to sleep again.

Then I thought to myself, "What if I didn't wake up to blow out the flame?" The possibilities are many. It could have been disastrous. But fortunately for this world's ME, it was all well.

Now, I wonder how many ME's survived the night...
